Fresh as a daisy, pale yellow with green reflections, this is an attractively aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with pronounced gooseberry and citrus notes, hints of fresh cut hay on the palate with a crisp and thirst-quenching finish. This is a brilliant partner to shellfish, goat's cheese dishes, poultry and pasta. An absolute joy to drink at the price.

Vintage report
The 2023 vintage in Languedoc tells the familiar story of a region learning to dance with climate extremes. Spring brought welcome relief after several parched years, with decent rainfall replenishing soils across the sprawling appellations from Corbières to Pic Saint-Loup. Summer heat arrived predictably but without the punishing intensity that has marked recent vintages, allowing the vines to ripen fruit rather than simply survive.
What emerged from the cellars feels like Languedoc finding its modern voice — wines that marry the region's sunny generosity with genuine freshness. The reds show lovely immediacy, particularly Syrah and Grenache blends that deliver spice and dark fruit without the jammy weight that can plague warmer years. We're drinking the early releases now with real pleasure, though the better cuvées will happily cellar for five to eight years. It's a vintage that reminds us why this vast region continues to punch above its weight — honest, expressive wines that don't need to shout to be heard.
